INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this publication is to provide the substitute teacher pertinent information concerning requirements, policies, and procedures necessary to maintain the highest possible standards of service to our students.
Specific information concerning each assignment will be in the building where assigned. Policies and procedures are subject to revision, and suggestions for improvement are always welcome.
It is hoped that substitute teaching experiences with Vigo County Schools will be professionally satisfying. We appreciate your educational preparation and ability to work effectively with students. Providing continuity to the educational program during the absence of the regular classroom teacher is the responsibility with which you are charged.

HOW DO I BECOME A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER
Before being listed for assignment in the Vigo County School Corporation, a substitute teacher is required to do the following at the Personnel Office.
1. Submit a limited criminal history. (*)
(The application is in the packet. You send these papers into the State. Please read the information below)
2. Submit a valid Indiana teaching license. OR A Indiana substitute certificate.
If you must apply for a substitute certificate you must fill out the application and turn it in with a cashier’s check or money order for $15.00 made out to the State of Indiana.
3. Provide information requested on state and federal tax forms.(W4 and WH-4)
4. Fill out a Conditions of Placement form.
5. Fill out Teacher Retirement Forms.
6. Submit a copy of your birth certificate
7. Submit an official transcript of your grades. (you must have 60 hours)
8. Attend training inservice for Substitute Teachers.
9. Obtain a photo ID (they are provided free of charge for you)
(*)The 1997 Indiana General Assembly enacted legislation requiring all applicants for licensure or relicensure to submit limited criminal history information to the Indiana Professional Standards Board. The effective date is July 1, 1997, no exceptions. The wording of the statute indicates that each time a person submits an application for a license, he/she is an "applicant" and must present an updated criminal history.
You send the application along with a $7.00 money order or cashier’s check, made out to the State of Indiana, to the State Police. You must turn in your limited criminal history with your other paper work before we can send for your substitute certificate.
5.
HOW ARE SUBSTITUTE ASSIGNMENTS MADE?
The Vigo County School Corporation utilizes an automated system to register employee absences and assign substitutes from 5:30 a.m. on the days substitutes are required. Advance assignments are made through evening calls from 5:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.. These calls are made up to two (2) weeks before the scheduled absence.
When teachers call in an absence they may utilize one of three options to secure a needed substitute. 1. They may "assign" a particular substitute if arrangements have been made in advance. In this case the system does not make any call. The teacher simply reports the absence in the SubFinder system and puts in the name of the substitute with whom all arrangements have been made. 2. They may "request" a particular substitute in which case the system will call that person (if available) every thirty (30) minutes during call out time until they accept or decline the position. If that substitute has not been reached by 9:00 p.m. on the evening before the absence the system will abandon the request and start calling other qualified substitutes from the list. It will call until a substitute is secured or all lists are exhausted. If you know a teacher has requested you it is wise to call the system to review available jobs and accept the job. You can do this anytime after it is called in.
Calls to the substitute teachers are made in the following order:
Retired teachers are called first, Substitutes with a valid Indiana teaching license are called second and those with a substitute certificate are called third.
When you are called by the system you interact with a telephone keypad (touch-tone). Specific directions are provided with this handbook. Training is provided as a part of the substitute pre-service training. Briefly, you may accept, decline, or indicate you want no more calls during the current calling period. If you decline you may be called for subsequent absences in that calling period.
If for some reason you no longer wish to be on the Substitute Teaching List please call the office at 462-4052 and tell Mrs. Winn so she can make changes in the data base. This is the only way to be removed from the list.
The system also allows you to inquire about jobs for which you are qualified. In order to do this you call into the system and “review available jobs”(see accompanying directions).
When you have accepted a job you will be given a job number. Record this number and report it when you arrive for the assignment at the school. If you later need to inquire about or cancel the job you also will have to know the job number. Remember without a job number officially you have no job. The job number must be on the Substitute’s pay slip that is filled out at the school.
Every attempt will be made to provide the absent teacher with a substitute whose educational credentials can most effectively meet the needs of the students.
6.
WHAT ARE MY RESPONSIBILITIES?
UPON ARRIVAL
Substitutes are to be in the buildings by 7:45 a.m. unless otherwise stated in the start and end time of the job.
1. Report first to the school office and provide the secretary with necessary information for records and obtain your school identification badge.
a. Find out who you call in an emergency.
b. Inquire about any special security measures that are in place in the school.
c. Find out about keys to the classroom and the outside door.
d. Find out if any of your students will need to leave your classroom during the day, to go to the nurse or for special instruction etc.
2. Obtain any additional substitute information pertaining to the assignment and that day in school.
3. Check the mailbox of the teacher for who you are substituting for materials which might need immediate attention.
4. Inquire about any procedures or policies you wish to have further defined.
5. Proceed to the assigned classroom or station without unnecessary delay.
IN THE CLASSROOM
1. Locate the teacher’s plans. Each teacher is responsible for having seating charts and advanced written daily plans prepared at all times; such plans should be readily available for use by the substitute teacher in the event of the regular teacher's absence. If appropriate lesson plans and materials are not found, please confer with the principal or assistant principal . Do not make something up on your own or try and “wing it”. Do not take your own teaching materials or videos to school.
2. Organize classroom activities and maintain classroom control and discipline that is conducive to a learning environment; adhere to the attendance policy consistent with that of the particular building.
3. Implement the lesson plan, motivating students toward appropriate goals and objectives.
4. Exercise mature judgment which reflects the ethical standards of the teaching profession.
5. Respect the nature of confidential information. Guard against making unfavorable and unprofessional comparisons or comments about school systems, schools, classes, students, or education personnel.
7.
6. Keep students in their classroom for full period of class time.
7. Do not bring personal work, such as reading material, letter writing, knitting, etc. , into the class.
8. Follow the regular teacher's schedule of class assignments, including special duties and/or supervision assignments, however Substitute teachers are not given planning periods. Substitute teachers are, of course, given a lunch period but not planning periods. The principal where you are substituting can ask you to cover other classes during what would be a planning period for the teacher you are working for. You could be asked to do anything from covering another classroom or perhaps cover a lunch room or any number of other things. The principal is allowed to do this and the Substitute teacher is expected to comply.
9. Stay off of the computers, unless you are specifically told to do something on the computer. Do not get on to check your email or anything else.
UPON LEAVING
1. Remain in the classroom until all students have been dismissed from the room.
2. Leave a summary of work completed and a record of any unusual problems encountered (anecdotal report) for the regular teacher. Also, leave a note about any good experience you have with a student.
3. Place all communication, notices, notes, etc. received during the day with the anecdotal report.
4. Leave the classroom and the teacher's desk in good order.
5. Do not enter grades in the gradebook.
6. Place collected papers in teacher's desk.
7. Report to the office before exiting the building to sign the substitute slip. Make sure your job number is on your substitute slip. Check for information regarding further assignments.
HOW WILL I BE EVALUATED
There is no formal evaluation of substitute teachers. If the School principal feels the substitute teacher's performance has been unsatisfactory, the principal can request that the substitute not be assigned to his/her building. If this happens repeatedly or if there is a major problem the substitute may be withdrawn from the system.
8.
WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT STUDENT WELFARE?
1. Safety precautions dictate that students are not to be kept after school's dismissal time without the principal's approval
2. All cases of accident or illness are to be reported to the principal's office immediately.
3. Discipline is important and should be such that permits the best possible climate for learning. Substitute teachers will not use corporal punishment. Extreme behavior problems should be referred to the principal or assistant principal's office.
4. Students are never to be released from the building during school hours without the principal's permission.
5. Any information concerning students and their families is to be held in strict confidence.
6. The exception to the above rule would be child abuse. If a student tells you they are being abused then, by law, you must report it to the principal and they must report it to child protective services. Always check to make sure it has been reported to CPS after you have reported to the principal.
7. Should there be a student incident where you need to fill out a report be sure you state only what you saw and what you heard. Do not embellish the report in any way.
Safety and Security
1. Student release: As stated earlier, never release a student without following procedures at the school. Those procedures should include the office giving permission for the student to be released.
2. Badges: Wear your photo badges. If a police matter takes place at school, you must be identified as having reason to be at the school.
3. Visitors: visitors must sign in at the office. If you see a person in the hallway with no badge that is raising a concern you should notify the school office of the presence of the un-identified visitor.
4. Supervision: never leave a class un-supervised. Have another adult step in if you need to leave for any reason or call the office to request help. If you are assigned to a duty, be there on time and stay until you are supposed to leave.
5. Fighting: If you come across a fight, do not put yourself in harms way. Use your voice to order the students to cease. Notify administration and wait for security.
9.
6. Emergency Evacuation: Know where you should take your class. Ask about the emergency procedures. Many classes have a folder on the wall or on the desk to explain these procedures. Identify this packet when you arrive at your assignment.
WORKMAN’S COMPENSATION
If you are injured on the job, no matter how slight the injury, you must report it. Accident report forms are available in the school office; the secretary or principal will get you the form. The form must be sent to the Employee Benefits office within 3 working days, although, same day reporting is preferred. Please make sure to turn the form into the school office for the principal to sign.
When completing the form, be certain you list all the facts and record any witnesses to the accident.
If you need to see a doctor you are required to go to the Center for Occupational Health at 4001 Wabash Ave. Their phone number is 238-7788. If you need a prescription filled, the Terre Haute Prescription Shop is located at 2723 S. 7th Street. Their phone number is 232-9646 and they will bill us after the accident has been verified. If you get it filled at another pharmacy, send in the itemized receipt to the Benefits office for reimbursement from the insurance company.
RISK MANAGEMENT
In case of student accident or accident by a visitor to the school you must fill out a Standard School Incident Report. The forms and directions are available from the Principal or the school secretary.
The form must be filled out and faxed to our Insurance Carrier and the Risk Management Office within three (3) days of the incident. Same day reporting is preferred.
Be sure the narrative part of your report tells whom, what, where, and when. Ask yourself “If a parent, an attorney or a judge were reading your report would it make sense?”
Never tell a student or a parent that the school corporation will pay for doctor bills or for torn clothing etc. The school corporation does not carry any insurance coverage on students.
SUBSTITUTE PAY PROCESS
Paychecks are issued on alternating Fridays (please see pay period schedule on page 12), except when school has been dismissed on that Friday. Exceptions to the pay schedule provide that paychecks are issued on the school day prior to that holiday. The pay period ends two (2) weeks prior to the issuance of the check and checks will be placed in the mail to your home the day before payday.
The substitute teaching daily pay rate is $58.00 per day for each full day of service to the school corporation and $29.00 per one half day of service. Substitutes employed for four (4) hours, including lunch, receive full pay. If the assignment is for less than (4) four hours the substitute receives one half day pay.
10.
Retired Indiana teachers will be paid at the rate of $75.00 per day, $37.50 per one half day of service when teaching within their area of certification.
If you would like to have direct deposit of your pay check you can set it up in the payroll office. Call 462-4222 for more details.
In the event that a substitute has been given an assignment, but upon arrival an assignment is not available, half-day pay will be awarded. Substitute teachers possessing a valid Indiana teaching license and serving in the same assignment beyond fifteen (15) consecutive school days shall be compensated on the Teachers Salary Schedule based on their degree and experience beginning the sixteenth day through the end of the assignment. Substitute teachers who hold a Substitute Certificate will be paid $116.00 per day when in the same assignment beyond fifteen (15) consecutive days.
Substitute pay is authorized only on the substitute slips received by the payroll office. The authorization pay slip must be signed by the substitute teacher with the SubFinder job number for each day or half day of service. Also, the authorization pay slip must indicate if the substitute is a retired teacher so the proper rate of pay will be given. Substitute slips are available in the main office of each school building. Substitutes are encouraged to keep a record of each assignment by date, building and job number for each pay period. In the event that there is a discrepancy, it should be reported to the payroll office at (812) 462-4221 or 4222 immediately.

Substitute FAQs
Q: Do I have to have touch-tone service to use SubFinder?
A: No, but you do need a telephone that is tone/pulse switchable.
Q: Do I have to call in and register with SubFinder before I can receive job offers?
A: Yes. You will not receive any job offers until you have registered! You register by recording your voice on the telephone (462-4021)
Q: Do I have to register every time I call in?
A: No. You only have to register once.
Q: What happens if SubFinder calls me and gets my answering machine?
A: Your answering machine will record some portion of SubFinder’s greeting and narration asking for your PIN – Personal Identification Number. SubFinder will realize that the phone was answered, but will not leave any information regarding the job. SubFinder may call back later and offer you the job again or you may want to call in and see if anything is available.
Q: What if someone in my family answers the phone and it’s SubFinder calling?
A: You have two choices: 1) If you are not home, you can teach family members how to accept jobs for you. If you choose to do this, please make sure they realize how important it is to tell you about the job after they accept it! 2) If you are home, have the person who answered the phone put the receiver down and call you. Substitute Finder will ask for your PIN several times, waiting approximately 30 seconds between each request, so you will have time to get to the phone before the call is terminated.
Q: Can an employee prearrange me to, or request me for, his/her absence?
A: Yes, the district has chosen to use these options. The employee must have your SubFinder-assigned ID number in order to do this. They should be able to obtain this number from you or their school office.
Q: What if the days I am available to work change from week to week?
A: You can change this information yourself, using your touch-tone phone. From the Main Menu, choose option #4 – To Review Personal Information and then choose option #3 - To Review the Days of the Week You Can Work. Follow the instructions given by the narrator and/or your reference card to change your available days.
Q: Can I call SubFinder and “shop” for jobs?
A: Yes, you can call in and review available jobs any time.
25.
Q: When I call in to Review Available Jobs, will I be given a list of jobs from which to choose?
A: No. You will hear one job at a time and will able to accept the job, listen to the job again, or listen to the next job. If you accept the job, you may still review jobs for other dates, if there are any available at that time.
Q: What is the difference between marking myself ‘Unavailable’ and marking myself with a ‘Do Not Disturb’?
A: Marking yourself as ‘Unavailable’ means that you can not work for that time period. It does not mean that you don’t want SubFinder to call you with offers for future jobs. For example: If you say that you are unavailable on Monday, SubFinder will not offer you a job for Monday but it may call you Monday evening to offer you future jobs.
When you create a “Do Not Disturb’, you are telling SubFinder that you do not want to receive any calls during that time period. You are not telling SubFinder that you can’t work. For example: If you ask not to be disturbed on Monday, SubFinder will not call you on Monday. But, it could call you Sunday night and offer you a job for Monday.
If you are not available to work and you do not want to receive any calls, you must add both items to the specified time period. After adding an Unavailable Date Range, SubFinder will ask you if you still want to receive calls during the period. Indicating that you do not will also place a Do Not Disturb on your account for the same period.
Q: If I enter an Unavailable Date Range (for example, for a vacation) and return early, can I begin to pick up jobs early?
A: Yes. You must call SubFinder, choose option #4 - To Review Personal Information, choose option #4 - For the Date Range Menu, choose option #3 - To Review a Date Range, and then remove the date range. You will then be eligible to receive job offers from SubFinder, as well as review available jobs.
Q: If I reject a job for a particular day, will SubFinder quit calling me for that day?
A: No. SubFinder may still call you for other jobs if you meet the criteria.
Q: If I reject or cancel jobs, will I be automatically removed from the substitute list?
A: No. You will not be automatically removed for rejecting or canceling jobs.
Q: Do I need to remember my job number?
A: Yes. The job number is your confirmation that SubFinder has registered your acceptance of the job. You will also need this number if you need to cancel the job.
26.
Q: Will I have the same job number for all my jobs?
A: No. Every new job you accept will have a different job number.
Q: Can I cancel a previously accepted job in the event of an emergency?
A: Yes. From the Main Menu, choose option #3 - To Cancel a Job. After entering the job number, SubFinder will play the job information for you and then give you the option of canceling the job. If you try to cancel a job after the Substitute Cancel Deadline, you will be instructed to call the administrator and will given the appropriate number to call.
Q: What is my Substitute Cancel Deadline?
A: 30 minutes before the start of the job.
Q: Will I ever be offered jobs in position areas that I did not request?
A: Maybe. You may be called for jobs outside your stated position area(s) if: (1) a special request for you has been made, or (2) SubFinder has been configured to call substitutes outside the position area after all matching substitutes have been called.
Q. How Will I Know When My Name Is On The SubList?
A. IF you have turned in all of your paper work, and IF you have attended the class and have your photo ID (with a copy of it in your file) you will be put on the sub list. You can call the SubFinder to find out if you are on the list 462-4021. If the system will not take your social security number then you are not in the system yet.
Q. How Can I Find My ID Number To Tell A Teacher?
A. There are several ways to do this. The easiest way is to dial into the SubFinder and press #5 from the main menu to review your “personal information” . With this new version it will tell you what your number is. You can check in the school office for a list of ID’s or you can call the Substitute Teaching Office 462-4052. You will not be given an ID number until you are in the system.
Q. Will I Get A Copy Of My Sub License?
A. You actually will receive the original. When your license comes in a copy is made for your file and the original is sent to you along with a letter, telling you that you are in the system and what your ID number is.
